The silver locket I found last night was hallmarked, research shows it was made in Birmingham in 1888 by a William James Dingley making it well over 100 years old..........I'm stoked with that one! The gold plated ( I thought) locket is in fact what they call rolled gold or gold filled, an outer casing of thin gold sheet fused to a base metal (in this case brass). It was made by S.K. Merril Company in Providence, Rhode Island,USA sometime inbetween 1871 and 1915, the detail on the front suggests Victorian, so around the turn of that century I would guess.
